The first victory is always significant, according to Test squad skipper Shan Masood, especially after a difficult period.
“We came up with a plan to get 20 wickets and we made it happen,” he said, acknowledging that a lot had happened in the previous week for the youngsters to step in.
After going through some difficult circumstances, Shan Masood said in a post-game ceremony, “Three years and 11 months creates hunger, can’t doubt the effort and commitment, backed up with decent first and second innings scores.”
Masood continued, saying, “We tried green seamers against Bangladesh and we were a little bit off.” Although there isn’t much cricket in Multan, Noman and Sajid are experienced players, and the game offered some spin.
